'Supashot yar!'

Must be a South Indian movie (they say 'yar' a lot in Bangalore).

Here's one you might enjoy - it's actually quite restrained for a Bollywood supahero movie yar.

Science fiction had a lot more fiction than science in it in the 50s for sure.

Just like today's news!

Thanks for the heads up - perhaps the long form will do her more justice.

Have you watched the new biopic movie about her?

I caught the reviews and it sounded disappointing, but if you recommend it, I'd give it a try.

Boy did this thread just take a detour! 

I know, right? Absolutely outrageous!

BTW for those not familiar, Anita Miu was a great star who died relatively young. Ironic then that in one of her best roles, she played a ghost. The movie is called Rouge...

The character played by the great Anita Miu is even called Wonder Woman!

CTHD was the first movie of this type widely shown in the West.  There's a Chinese superhero tradition, but it's not labeled "superhero" so confuses people the first time they see such movies, even though they've been around for decades.

Then they went back to their conversation as to whether Superman could pick up Mjolnir.

What did they decide?

WOW! doesn't even do this justice.  A 6.5 copy of Planet 45 bringing in $1,300 is truly shocking.

With @mikefeen about to auction his Planets on C'link, we'll see whether such phenomena are universal with regard to Planet Comics...and Mike's #45 therein is a beautiful CGC 9.2!

The dude jumped from his spaceship that is just out of view.  The bigger question is why he has wind-blown hair.  In space.

I suppose it depends where the wind came from

Seeing pedigrees sell for stratospheric prices is one, thing, but this one has me wondering which Planet we are on.

Not to mention some dude randomly dropping in on the back in outer space.  It's a beautiful image, but absolutely ridiculous in content.  

My dad always complained that Hollywood Westerns were unrealistic because they never showed cowboys going to the loo!

I will be merciful, and not re-post all my Planets for the umpteenth time, but here are my Whitman covers. [NB, I do have a feeling #65 is an uncredited Whitman cover, or possibly a mash up with him involved, but that could just be wishful thinking! Anyway, note the similarity in the spaceman suits on the covers of #65 and #66!]

What method are we talking about here? Check? Wire transfer? Dogecoin? Sack of cash with a $ sign on it? 

I confidently predict that all of these will soon be supplanted by a more sophisticated form of currency.

Maybe you should include a lottery ticket, next time.  And a chocolate.

Life is just a box of lottery tickets.
